...rugby meetings!
Yes, folks, they're back. I spent all last winter moaning about them. Well, winter must be approaching again, because we have our first rugby meeting of the year tomorrow night.
That means I get to take minutes, send out nagging emails, do the admin, find who has got all the kit from last year (there's a bag in my garage) and organise the after-match functions. Beg water bottles, balls, tackle bags and hit shields from our supporting clubs. Get the boys to pay their fees, cajole/beg/bully guys into coaching and managing, deal with the ego-bunnies at the Union. And all of that has nothing to do with the actual Saturday games - drive smelly boys around, stand on the sideline in the freezing cold, give Jake rub-downs, haul guys off the field for not wearing mouthguards. Bring the ice-packs (frozen peas), fill the water bottles, make sure the bench are running the bottles and the kicking tees, be nice to completely average referees - "Thanks ref, good game (you short-sighted, one-eyed, wouldn't know a rule-book if it bit you in the arse, geriatric git)".
How can guys be so good at rugby and so CRAP at organising it?
Yep, you know I love it!

And it shows that you love it too :D
Rub downs indeed!!
Men only pretend they are crap at stuff so that we will do it all. It is so that they know it will be done properly everytime and they can just sit back and suck in the beers!
Luckily you sound like you love it, so it's okay!
Bri
LOL yep, the whole way through reading I was thinking "she really loves it I bet". They obviously need someone like you! :-)
Great that you love it! They are lucky to have you sorting them out!!
I'm with Briony, they're faking it. I was never allowed to go near of Andrew's sporting stuff when he played. Maybe because I abused the cricket coach for expecting them to turn up at 7 am on a saturday???
Sounds like good exercise!!!!
What is your official title in all of this, because if you take away the rugby bits and replace it with a bunch of boring insurance stuff, it sounds a lot like my job!!!
Woooohoooo bring on the rugby season!!! SOunds like you love it to bits and that they would fall to bits without you behind the scenes!!! :) Nothing like a good game of rugby on a wintery Saturday morning :)
Oh haven't forgotten about touching base with you - just gotta get off my arse and do it!
Had the rugby boys seen much of you since the end of last season Sue? I'll bet they got a surprise!! Well done on the new size 14 jeans by the way!
Well, I think it would be nice to go... nice to see the seniors play in their nice little shorts anyway! Oops, I hope your son isn't in the seniors... oh well, I'm only 24, I can perve, can't I?!
I can almost guarantee that when my boys start playing sport I will be as crazy with the admin stuff as you are. BTW, they won't even recognise you when they see you - we barely do!
Yes its rugby season again but luckily only as a supporter now that every one has grown up. Our social life revolves around rugby for the next six months at least. Mark has finally started to fire in the Super 14 tipping comp at work after a dismal start (he finally started listening to me - LOL). Have a great season.
:o)
